AC's and Cuppa's Treks and Travels — Day Trips and Plane Trips

Roaming Around Stanley Park

AC has been doing a great job at keeping you updated on our Ramblings and Rovings – thank goodness. I am still struggling with the time change and find myself falling into bed at night without any energy to write a word. Let me try to catch up a bit this morning.

We spent Monday roaming around Stanley Park and thoroughly enjoyed the day. We have walked into it many times from the girls apt, but Monday we took the car to explore all the beaches, coves, look-out points and of course the gift shops!!!

If you look closely you can see me standing at the base of this huge tree in Stanley Park. The camera just doesn’t capture the size and grandeur of what we are seeing, but we keep trying.

Here I am standing inside the hollow trunk of one of the old Ents trying to capture the experience on film, but couldn’t do it.

Now I am on the outside of the same tree. Wow!

Every tree, bush and flower is enormous and makes the ones at home look like tiny imitations of the real thing.

Just LOOK at this bush!!

I tried to get AC and the top of this tree in the same pic, but couldn’t get far enough back to do it.

Time to stop and admire some native art and visit the gift shop. AC bought this beautiful pendant for me at this spot. It is Medicine Stone jewellery, consisting of a large shell disc, carved and painted bone beads, sterling silver feathers and amethyst stone.
